as played to flop - call and re-evaluate on turn there is no need to end the pot on the flop - [only go all in if you are certain you are ahead and that villain will call it,you need to extract value]
all situations in poker are player read based as is how do you think your opponents view you...knowing how your image appears to others is important in your decision making post flop...it is good being aware of your opponents ranges but useless if you cannot re-evaluate on the streets according to your opponents actions,betting and previous bet patterns...
as said in previous posts above by going all in on the flop [a massive over bet] all you guarantee is that if called it will be by a hand that is beating you...
He thought about this for a while and said he would fold the jacks ... (and has done in similar positions) ... his best win is c$40k ... this was the last thing on my mind at the time ... but I think it does make sense ... no risk ... (and at the time no risk required) ... wait for a spot to make the running or for a bigger hand.
wowser
is folding jacks good? to a loose ep raiser? [your read] and if you flat call him with a tight image would not a good thinking player see that as possibly a big hand? and leading his set like a basic continuation bet is the perfect way to disguise it [loose image] you played your over pair BAD , try to play the streets a bit more if you are still not sure of his range [you still have plenty play in your stack] i"d suggest you work on trying to control the pot sizes when unsure where you are in a hand, you have position...
read this !! it will give you something to think about as to how far you think you are on reading players and situations.

as you may now be experiencing when you are in the 22 to 30bb stack size area it is difficult to play without a good read and 3bets pre with marginal strong hands are best if you think your opponent will fold , YOU are not hoping for a call really !!,and forget shoving 30bb all in pre , that is just weak spewy [note any player if you witness them shoving to steal with 25bb + as like your hand JJ it is usually a bad play with a marginally strong hand or worse]
also a bra on the head works wonders
online or live

work on your reading of others pre and post flop and your game will improve...
